Biographical notes:

Linda Vallejo is an acclaimed Chicana painter, sculptor, printmaker, and founder of Galeria Las Americas. Linda Vallejo's personal collection, established in CEMA in 2001, represents a broad spectrum of her work and includes photographs, slides, posters, correspondence, publications and ephemera.

Vallejo was born in East Los Angeles and was a graduate of Whittier College and also studied lithography at the University of Madrid. Her work has been exhibited extensively in one-woman shows and group shows in major museums and galleries throughout the United States, as well as Mexico. Vallejo describes herself as "an indigenous Chicana" and as such, her work is highly symbolic and allegorical and is infused with Native American, Mexicana, and Chicana spiritual traditions.
